chad, in comparison with a superpower, no other power can do
much. There's no point in saying 'the French' are useless because they
can't do what the US can. Quality of a country is not judged on those
kind of arguments, I am sure you will see if you think a bit about
it. The US, and countries the world over, make do with what they have
at the time. If they can't do, they look for another solution.
